Argentina striker Sergio Aguero completed his £38 million move to Manchester City on Thursday and immediately set his sights on sparking a major trophy haul. The 23-year-old, who is the son-in-law of Argentina legend Diego Maradona, had already announced his move from Atletico Madrid on his Twitter account on Wednesday, but both the Spanish side and City waited until Thursday evening to confirm the deal. \"My style is to fight to the death for every ball and always give 100 percent, to be concentrated, give the maximum and to score goals. I have plenty to offer,\" he told the City website. \"I saw City win the FA Cup last season. I am sure that in the future we will be fighting for plenty of major trophies.\" Aguero is seen as the answer to City\'s problems in attack, where Carlos Tevez has reiterated his desire to leave the English club. His transfer is City\'s third major signing of the summer following the arrivals of Gael Clichy from Arsenal and Stefan Savic from Partizan Belgrade. \"I don\'t think I will have too many problems settling into the team,\" said Aguero. \"I will do what the manager asks me to do and try to work the way he wants me to. I am sure everything will be fine. I am very relaxed about it.\" He is also looking forward to linking up with David Silva and Yaya Toure, who he played against during his time in Spain but who will now be team-mates at City. \"They are great players and they are now in one of the biggest teams in England. I am very lucky to be playing alongside them.\" City announced that Aguero, who spent Wednesday in Manchester undergoing a medical, had signed a five-year-contract and that he is likely to be in the squad for this weekend’s Dublin Super Cup tournament. He will wear the number 16 shirt. Atletico said in their statement: \"Atletico Madrid and Manchester City have reached an agreement under which the English club has the rights to Sergio Leonel Aguero. \"From now on the Argentine player ceases to be part of our staff. The club thanks him for his services rendered during the five seasons and wishes him luck in his new post.\"
